2 micro highpoints sliding off the crux crimps in 28C steam. Then finished with a big highpoint above the 2nd last bolt, its down to one hang. The wind helped a bit but it was so strong the waterfall below Wendle was landing part way up these routes at times - and I nearly got barndoored off the flakerest by one gust. Uprated to mega, despite being a smidge crystally at times the moves are just fricken awesome.

Like many before, OS to last move, had skipped a clip and took the big one. Missed opportunity, I definitely had this in me. The steam didn't help, but the tickmarks were much worse! Whoever put the huge ticks on all the tiny holds: your beta needs work. And could ya at least brush em off afterwards?

Huh, didn't think I'd link to the crux this quick. But still not close ... that last move is a doozy off the bolt let alone on redpoint. And KP is on the money, there are still 2 chips remaining on the start, 50cm L of 1st bolt and 30cm above 2nd bolt, in addition to the mostly abominable patchwork up high. They chopped the wrong bolt too, if one had to go it should've been the one above. How to Ruin a Beautiful Bit of Rock 101.

I'd give this classic if it wasn't the scene of mass crimes against climbing. To chip it was bizarre, the move is fine without. Plus, apart from the undercling, the patches are shockers. bloody great climbing though, i'll be back
